Although it's situated on 220 acres in upstate New York, the Link Farm House doesn't resemble the gabled agrarian buildings we're used to seeing. The home is more of a contemporary contrast to its rural setting with an exterior formed by two perpendicular volumes. Clad in locally-sourced stone, the lower level houses the private areas within its opaque facade while its roof has been covered in plants, acting as a garden terrace for the main living area on the second story. Above, a glazed rectangle containing the public spaces rests on the ground floor and a hillside. The transparent walls blur the boundaries between the interior and the outdoors, allowing for unobstructed views of the landscape.

Inspired by the bucolic landscape of Northern California, the Portola Valley Meadow House burrows itself into a grassy hillside. Its grey-stained cedar siding gives the exterior's modern form a rustic balance while a green roof further integrates the home into the prairie setting. Internally, the home is made up of two wings forming an L-shape. The main living spaces are contained in one, consisting of spacious rooms wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glazing. Views of the rural scenery are contrasted by the contemporary aesthetic created by concrete floors and modern fixtures. When the windows are open, the interior expands out to a central terrace looking out over the surrounding meadow.

Perched in a forest in the Italian mountains of the same name, the Dolomite Treehouses are a sustainable ode to the surrounding nature.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing deepens the connection with nature, immersing guests in views of the verdant landscape.

The coast of the island of Karpathos is defined by mounds of jagged rocks running into the sea. Rather than distract from the dramatic landscape, the Patio House aims to blend in.

Not to disrupt the existing environment, the home sits lightly on a natural plateau, cantilevering off the cliffside and floating over the water below. Internally, minimalist rooms are arranged around a central patio. While walls of reinforced concrete protect the outdoor space from harsh winds, large openings afford expansive views of the Aegean Sea.

After working in the United States, a writer retires to the coast of Nova Scotia. During his career, he compiled quite a book collection meaning not only did he need a place for himself to reside, but also a home for his novels. The cabin sits perched on a cliffside overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Its abstract form is the result of large sections being removed in order to create a covered entrance and terrace. Clad in white channel-joint boards, the exterior acts a transition between the silvery coastline and the bright white interior. Internally, a light, airy atmosphere is created by a sky-lit slot that runs across the ceiling and expansive glazing. The highlight is the library. Separating the main living area from the master bedroom, the room is filled with floor-to-ceiling shelves and a window framing in views of the sea, creating a refuge to dwell amongst the books.
